ABOUT HENRY JACKMAN:Henry Jackman has established himself as one of today's top composers by fusing his classical training and his experience as a successful record producer and creator of electronic music. His musical versatility ratcheted up the tension in Paul Greengrass' Captain Phillips (earning him a BAFTA nomination), super-powered such comic book hits as X-Men: First Class and Captain America: Winter Soldier; kicked ass in Kingsman: The Secret Service and Kick-Ass; breathed life into legendary animated characters like Winnie the Pooh, Puss in Boots, Wreck-It Ralph, and Oscar-winner Big Hero 6. His most recent work can be heard in the sci-fi comedy Pixels, and the post-apocalyptic drama The Fifth Wave starring Chloe Grace Moretz, Marvels blockbuster hit Captain America: Civil War, Paramount Pictures action-packed sequel, Jack Reacher: Never Go Back starring Tom Cruise and Cobie Smulders and the adventure sequel from Warner Bros.

He studied classical music at Oxford and sang in the St. Paul's Cathedral Choir but simultaneously got involved in the underground rave scene and began producing popular electronica music and dance remixes, eventually working with artists such as Seal and The Art of Noise. In 2006 he caught the attention of film composers Hans Zimmer and John Powell, and began writing additional music for Zimmer and Powell on Kung Fu Panda and then for Zimmer on The Dark Knight, The Da Vinci Code, and The Pirates of the Caribbean films, which rapidly led to scoring blockbuster films on his own.
